109 displays an overlay.
110 - Fixed: The statusbar now works again.
111 - Fixed: VimFx should now work with Nightly 70, by removing usage of the

114 Thanks to Tobias Girstmair (@girst)!
115
116 ### 0.21.0 (2019-05-15)
117
118 - Removed: The Developer Toolbar integration, such as the `:` shortcut. That
119 feature has been removed from Firefox and the integration was causing issues
120 on newer Firefox versions. Thanks to Tobias Girstmair (@girst)!
121 - Fixed: VimFx should now work on Waterfox again. Tested with Waterfox 56,
122 Firefox 56, Firefox 64 and Waterfox 68. Thanks to Tobias Girstmair (@girst)
123 and @matsuhav!
124
125 ### 0.20.15 (2018-08-06)
126
127 - Fixed: Find mode now works properly again. Thanks to @matsuhav!
128
129 ### 0.20.14 (2018-05-15)
130
131 - Fixed: VimFx should now work properly in Firefox 61 (if you have enabled
132 legacy extensions) as well as older versions of Firefox. The latest few
133 versions have been a bit buggy, but things should work better now. Thanks to
134 Kevin Cox (@kevincox) and 依云 (@lilydjwg)!
135
136 ### 0.20.13 (2018-05-06)
137
138 - Fixed: VimFx should now work in Firefox 61 (if you have enabled legacy
139 extensions). Thanks to Kevin Cox (@kevincox), 依云 (@lilydjwg) and Jan
140 Kokemüller (@jiixyj)!
141
142 ### 0.20.12 (2018-01-23)
143
144 - Fixed: VimFx should now work in Firefox 59 (if you have enabled legacy
145 extensions). Thanks to Kevin Cox (@kevincox) and 依云 (@lilydjwg)!
146 - Updated locale: es. Thanks to @strel!
147
148 ### 0.20.11 (2017-11-19)
149
150 - Fixed: VimFx should now work in Firefox 58 (if you have enabled legacy
151 extensions). Thanks to 依云 (@lilydjwg)!
152
153 ### 0.20.10 (2017-03-25)
154
155 - Improved: Autofocus is now prevented when going back in history on pages that
156 use `history.pushState()` (in other words, on the 'popstate' event).
157 - Updated locale: ja. Thanks to Kaoru Esashika (@pluser)!
158
159 ### 0.20.9 (2017-02-21)
160
161 - Fixed: The `yy` command now works as expected in Reader Mode.
162
163 ### 0.20.8 (2017-01-14)
164
165 - Improved: The scrolling commands now scroll the closest scrollable parent of
166 the currently focused element (if it is not scrollable itself). This is
167 noticeable for Twitter’s modals, which are often scrollable. No longer any
168 need to use the `f` or `ef` commands to scroll those modals!
169
170 ### 0.20.7 (2017-01-07)
171
172 - Improved: The `[` and `]` commands now work in Google search results.
173 - Improved: You can now show the “emoji picker” of the “like” button on Facebook
174 by using the `ef` command.
175 - Updated locale: de. Thanks to @interleaved!
176
177 ### 0.20.6 (2016-12-16)
178
179 - Fixed: The `'`, `g[` and `g]` commands no longer crash. (Regression since
180 0.20.5.)
181 - Fixed: The `ef` command can now focus elements in deeply nested frames again.
182 (Regression since 0.19.0.)
183 - Fixed: `vimfx.addOptionOverrides` and `vimfx.addKeyOverrides` are now properly
184 undone when reloading a config file (`gC`).
185 - Improved: Hint markers for elements with multiline text no longer cover the
186 text.
187 - Updated locale: de. Thanks to @interleaved!
188
189 ### 0.20.5 (2016-12-04)
190
191 - Fixed: Scrolling by holding `d`, `u`, `<space>` or `<s-space>` no longer goes
192 slower and slower (and finally grinding to a halt) on long pages with lots of
193 elements. (See also the [`scroll.repeat_timeout`] pref.)
194 - Improved: All config API functions now validate all their parameters properly.
195 This provides a better user experience, and, most importantly, prevents VimFx
196 from crashing on certain invalid input.
197
198 [`scroll.repeat_timeout`]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/blob/58deb3f7b7c470a4d705f1dabf7aa13e095e8d09/documentation/options.md#smooth-scrolling
199
200 ### 0.20.4 (2016-11-16)
201
202 - Fixed: The `n` and `N` commands now work in Firefox’s PDF viewer.
203 - Fixed: The `eb` command can now click the tab bar scroll buttons.
204 - Fixed: Elements marked by the `eb` command now correctly get hints based on
205 their area again.
206 - Improved: The `eb` command now favors the browser tabs and their close
207 buttons, giving them better hints.
208 - Improved: The hints given to the browser tabs by the `eb` command are now
209 consistent no matter how many tabs you have open. This means that the first
210 tab always gets the same hint, the second tab always get the same hint, and so
211 on.
212 - Improved: Hint markers are now placed next to the text of the element if
213 appropriate. For example, the hint marker for a button with centered text is
214 now placed just to the left of the text rather than at the left edge of
215 button. This is nice because it means that hint markers usually end up where
216 you were just reading.
217 - Improved: The positioning of hint markers has been fine-tuned by a pixel or so
218 in some cases.
219 - Improved: Custom styled checkboxes and radio buttons now get hint markers
220 faster (they are now found in the first pass rather than the second).
221 - Improved: Compatibility with the [Tab Center] add-on.
222 - Improved: Blurring the location bar is now more consistent. Previously, its
223 text wasn’t reset if the autocomplete popup was open when you pressed
224 `<escape>` to blur it.
225 - Fixed: An edge case where the wrong hint markers could be highlighted.
226
227 [Tab Center]: https://testpilot.firefox.com/experiments/tab-center/
228
229 ### 0.20.3 (2016-10-22)
230
231 - Improved: Full page scrolling now recognizes the fixed footer on medium.com.
232 - Fixed: Scrollable element can now be focused with the `f` command again (not
233 just with the `ef` command). (Regression since 0.19.0.)
234 - Fixed: `<escape>` is no longer accidentally leaked to the page when used to
235 blur text inputs. This allows blurring text inputs in modals without closing
236 the modal (which `<escape>` commonly does otherwise).
237
238 ### 0.20.2 (2016-10-16)
239
240 - Fixed: Text inputs and links inside frames can now be focused using hint
241 commands again. (Regression since 0.19.0.)
242 - Improved: Previously focused text inputs inside frames no longer steal the
243 focus when entering Caret mode in that frame.
244 - Improved: When several hint markers have the same hint (because their links
245 go to the same place), the _largest_ of those links is now chosen when
246 activating that hint. This might be noticeable via focus styling.
247 - Updated locale: zh-CN. Thanks to @av2000ii!
248
249 ### 0.20.1 (2016-10-09)
250
251 - Improved: Caret mode is now a bit more robust. It can no longer make you end
252 up with [Firefox’s own Caret mode] accidentally enabled.
253 - Improved: If you try use for example `<ctrl>-j` as a keyboard shortcut, VimFx
254 will now tell you that you probably want `<c-j>` instead.
255 - Fixed: Using a keyboard shortcut to switch keyboard layout in GNOME while
256 inside a text input no longer causes the focus of that text input to be lost
257 when the Prevent autofocus option is enabled.
258 - Updated locale: zh-CN. Thanks to @av2000ii!
259
260 [Firefox’s own Caret mode]: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Accessibility_features_of_Firefox#Allow_text_to_be_selected_with_the_keyboard
261
262 ### 0.20.0 (2016-10-02)
263
264 - Added: The `g[` and `g]` commands, which let you scroll to previous and next
265 scroll positions of the current page. This is similar to Vim’s jump list.
266 - Added: The `/` mark. Pressing `'/` takes you to the scroll position before the
267 last `/`, `a/` or `g/`.
268 - Fixed: Pressing `''` multiple times in a row now flips back and forth
269 between two scroll positions as expected.
270 - Fixed: Version 0.19.0 claimed to include the following improvement: “The hint
271 marker for a smaller element can no longer cover the hint marker for a larger
272 element (unless you press `<c-space>` to rotate them).” However, a silly
273 mistake caused that improvement not to work. Now it does. For real.
274 - Fixed: All VimFx commands that copy text to the clipboard are now made sure to
275 also copy to the “selection clipboard” (if your system has such a thing). For
276 example, if you copy text using the `yv` command, the `p` command now uses
277 that copied text as expected.
278
279 ### 0.19.1 (2016-09-26)
280
281 - Fixed: The `'` command no longer crashes. (Regression since 0.19.0.)
282
283 ### 0.19.0 (2016-09-25)
284
285 #### Changes and improvements to Hints mode
286
287 **New feature:** Hint markers can now be filtered by element text, similar to
288 Vimium, Vimperator and Pentadactyl. This is useful for people who simply prefer
289 that workflow, and for clicking tiny pagination links (simply type its number!).
290
291 By default, filtering by element text is done by typing _uppercase_ characters
292 (hold down shift!). All characters other than the hint characters are now used
293 to filter hint markers by element text (rather than just being ignored). Do you
294 prefer filtering by element text, but dislike typing uppercase letters? Have a
295 look at how [hint characters] work to make things the other way around!
296
297 The markers with the best hint are now highlighted with a different color. You
298 may at any time press `<enter>` to activate those markers (or `<c-enter>` or
299 `<a-enter>` to change where and how to open links, just like you can hold ctrl
300 or alt for the last hint character).
301
302 Because of the above new features, the following default **Hints mode shortcuts
303 had to be changed:**
304
305 - `<space>` → `<c-space>` (`<s-space>` is left untouched)
306 - `<s->` → `<c-s->` (hold ctrl _and_ shift to peek through hint markers)
307 - `<enter>` → `<up>`
308 - `<c-enter>` → `<c-backspace>`
309
310 To make it easier to see the element text, hint markers are now nudged to the
311 left if they cover the text.
312
313 Other hint marker improvements:
314
315 - Hint markers are now 20% smaller by default. While trying to match text sizes
316 set by your operating system, they ended up a bit too large on most systems.
317 Check out the [Styling] documentation if you’d like to change the font size.
318 - Hint markers now have stronger contrast between the background color and the
319 text color, which should make them easier to read.
320 - The CSS for hint markers have been improved, making it easier to use custom
321 [Styling].
322 - When several elements have the same area, the best hint is now correctly given
323 to the _first_ of those elements. Previously, it happened to be the other way
324 around.
325 - The hint marker for a smaller element can no longer cover the hint marker for
326 a larger element (unless you press `<c-space>` to rotate them).
327 - Hint markers are now better positioned when having zoomed the page in or out.
328 - Hints mode is now more robust in general. Several race conditions have been
329 fixed.

331 [hint characters]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/blob/8bafdf0454043c1630bac8b13d13f1fb4e5ee9e7/documentation/options.md#hint-characters

333
334 #### Other updates
335
336 - Added: The ability to **export, import and reset all** VimFx options. There
337 are three shiny new buttons for this in VimFx’s options page in the Add-ons
338 Manager!
339 - Added: The `gB` command, which lets you **quickly blacklist** (and
340 un-blacklist) sites.
341 - Added: The `ec` command, for opening the context menu of elements.
342 - Added: The `ep` command, for opening links in new private windows.
343 - Improved: `h`, `l`, `j` and `k` now feel more like scrolling with the arrow
344 keys when held down, by boosting the scrolling speed. See the
345 [`scroll.horizontal_boost` and `scroll.vertical_boost`][scroll-boost] options
346 for more information.
347 - Fixed: VimFx’s find bar integration is now much more robust. Most notably, if
348 you start typing directly after pressing `/` and Firefox is slow at opening
349 the find bar, your keypresses can no longer trigger VimFx commands or Firefox
350 built-in commands.
351 - Improved: VimFx no longer leaks keypresses to the web page in some modes. (For
352 example, counts in Caret mode).
353 - Improved: The `eb` command now finds more clickable elements in the devtools.
354 - Changed: `vimfx.addKeyOverrides` no longer lets you easily break for example
355 Hints mode, by now only being applied to Normal mode. You might need to change
356 your matchers from `(location, mode) => ...` to simply `location => ...`.
357 (Breaking API change.)
358 - Changed: The object passed to custom commands (and custom modes) no longer
359 contains a `uiEvent` property. Instead, there’s an `event` property. This
360 property can be used the same way if you check `vim.isUIEvent(event)` first.
361 (Breaking API change.)
362
363 [scroll-boost]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/blob/8bafdf0454043c1630bac8b13d13f1fb4e5ee9e7/documentation/options.md#scrollhorizontal_boost-and-scrollvertical_boost
364
365 ### 0.18.1 (2016-08-27)
366
367 - Fixed: `vimfx.addOptionOverrides` no longer crashes on startup.
368 - Fixed: `vimfx.addOptionOverrides` can now override the `prevent_autofocus`
369 pref again.
370
371 ### 0.18.0 (2016-08-20)
372
373 #### Changed default shortcuts
374
375 Some default keyboard shortcuts have been changed.
376
377 - Hint commands. Many of the old ones were difficult to remember, and there was
378 no space for adding new ones.
379
380 - `gf` → `et` (t as in tab)
381 - `gF` → `ew` (w as in window)
382 - `zf` → `ef` (f as in focus)
383 - `zF` → `eb` (b as in browser)
384 - `zv` → `av` (you actually select _all_ of the element’s text)
385
386 (`f`, `yf`, `af`, `v` and `yv` stay unchanged.)
387
388 There is a longer [explanation of these new defaults][hint-shortcuts] in the
389 documentation.
390
391 - `zr` → `gC`. `zr` was the only shortcut starting with `z`. This frees that key
392 up for other uses.
393
394 - `` ` `` → `'`. The `` ` `` shortcut (“scroll to mark”) as well as the `` ` ``
395 mark (“last position mark”) have both been changed to `'`. Both `` ` `` and
396 `'` are used in Vim. `'` is a better default, because it is easier to
397 type–both on an en-US QWERTY keyboard and, more importantly, on some
398 international layouts, such as the sv-SE QWERTY layout.
399
400 Note: If you miss Firefox’s default `'` shortcut to open the Quick Find bar
401 (which is now overridden), remember that VimFx provides `g/` which does the
402 same thing. (You can of course also change VimFx’s shortcuts.)
403
404 See also issue [#788].

407 [#788]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/issues/788
408
409 #### Other updates
410
411 - Added: It is now possible to create [custom hint commands].
412 - Fixed: The bottom-right corner of the page scrollbars can now be used with the
413 mouse again.
414 - Fixed: The toolbar button now correctly toggles VimFx’s Keyboard Shortcuts
415 dialog again.
416 - Updated locales: fr, ru. Thanks to Mickaël RAYBAUD-ROIG (@m-r-r) and Nicholas
417 Guriev (@mymedia2)!
418
419 [custom hint commands]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/blob/e8d9df31dd5c8df999ac22e3b3b8d548a68c6fa7/documentation/api.md#custom-hint-commands
420
421 ### 0.17.4 (2016-07-11)
422
423 - Improved: The usage of modifier keys in Hints mode is now shown in VimFx’s
424 Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog. The functionality has been there for a long
425 time, but should now be easier to find. Thanks to our awesome translators,
426 the new help text is already available in most supported locales!
427 - Improved: If you submit a form while still being inside one of its text
428 inputs, that text input is now automatically blurred. This lets you use VimFx
429 commands while waiting for the form to submit without having to press
430 `<escape>` first.
431 - Improved: The `gu` command now works better on some pages, by preserving a
432 trailing slash. Thanks to @sinkuu!
433 - Improved: VimFx now recognizes text areas in the TYPO3 CMS.
434 - Improved: The `<escape>` command and the toolbar button now let you escape
435 back to Normal mode if VimFx ever gets stuck thinking that you are typing in a
436 text input.
437
438 ### 0.17.3 (2016-06-27)
439
440 - Improved: The `zF` command can now open even more dropdown menus of buttons.
441
442 ### 0.17.2 (2016-06-19)
443
444 - Improved: The `zF` command now works with more buttons and is able to open
445 dropdown menus of buttons.
446 - Fixed: The `f` commands now recognize more file upload buttons.
447 - Fixed: Rotating hint markers now works more as expected after having entered a
448 few hint chars.
449 - Fixed: Scrolling now works in SVG documents.
450 - Fixed: Opening links in new tabs in Firefox 50.
451 - Updated locales: pt-BR and ru. Thanks to Átila Camurça Alves (@atilacamurca)
452 and Nicholas Guriev (@mymedia2)!
453
454 ### 0.17.1 (2016-06-12)
455
456 - Fixed: The `zF` command no longer accidentally double-clicks instead of
457 single-clicking. Thanks to Alan Wu (@XrXr)!
458 - Fixed: The `zF` command no longer crashes in Firefox 49+.
459 - Fixed: The “URL popup,” shown when hovering or focusing links, now appears
460 again when focusing links using `zf` (regression since 0.17.0).
461 - Updated locale: it. Thanks to Carlo Bertoldi (@cbertoldi)!
462
463 ### 0.17.0 (2016-06-08)
464
465 - Fixed: VimFx no longer scrolls smaller elements on a page instead of the
466 entire page on some sites.
467 - Improved: The `/`, `n` and `N` have been drastically sped up (when
468 [`find_from_top_of_viewport`][find_from_top_of_viewport-1] is on). Previously,
469 they appeared to freeze on some sites, but not anymore.
470 - Improved: You can no longer accidentally trigger VimFx between pressing `/`
471 and the find bar input being is focused.
472 - Improved: The `n` and `N` commands are now more robust.
473 - Improved: “Fullscreen” buttons and “Copy to clipboard” buttons can now be
474 activated the `f` command. Thanks to Alan Wu (@XrXr)!
475 - Changed: After having pressed `m` or `` ` `` VimFx no longer waits
476 indefinitely for you to press a mark key. Instead, the [timeout] option is
477 honored.
478 - Changed: After having pressed `m` or `` ` `` you can now press `<escape>` to
479 abort those commands.
480 - Changed: Find mode is no longer shown in VimFx’s Keyboard Shortcuts help
481 dialog, to reduce clutter. (This can be changed through custom
482 [styling][styling-1].)
483 - Changed: The `?` command as well as the toolbar button now _toggle_ VimFx’s
484 Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog (instead of always showing it, even if it was
485 already shown.)
486 - Changed: Counts are now ignored in Ignore mode. Previously, pressing number
487 keys would both send those key presses to the page _and_ contribute to the
488 count for commands (showing up in the bottom-right corner). This is no longer
489 the case.
490 - Updated locales: fr, zh-CN and zh-TW. Thanks to Mickaël RAYBAUD-ROIG (@m-r-r),
491 @av2000ii and Robert Wang (@cyberrob)!

496
497 ### 0.16.1 (2016-05-29)
498
499 - Fixed: The `zF` command no longer crashes (regression since 0.16.0).
500
501 ### 0.16.0 (2016-05-29)
502
503 - Fixed: The text input focus detection problems introduced in 0.15.1, which
504 sometimes caused VimFx commands to be triggered while typing in text inputs,
505 have been fixed.
506 - Improved: If you press `n` or `N` when there are are no matches for your
507 search, the find bar is no longer opened. Only a notification is shown. The
508 reliability of those notifications has also been improved.
509 - Improved: Hints mode now finds more links.
510 - Improved: Pressing `<c-enter>` in Hints mode now includes more elements.
511 - Updated locales: es, zh-CN. Thanks to @strel and @av2000ii!
512
513 ### 0.15.1 (2016-05-22)
514
515 - Improved: Better hints on Twitter.
516 - Improved: Compatibility with the [Evernote Web Clipper] add-on (and
517 potentially other add-ons with similar UI).
518 - Updated locale: ja. Thanks to Kaoru Esashika (@pluser)!
519
520 [Evernote Web Clipper]: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/evernote-web-clipper/
521
522 ### 0.15.0 (2016-05-18)
523
524 - Improved: Hint markers now appear up to twice as fast on many pages. This is
525 done by creating the hint markers in two phases. Most are created in the
526 first, fast, phase. The rest take the same time as older VimFx versions to
527 show up.
528 - Fixed: VimFx no longer triggers commands while typing in fancy text inputs on
529 some sites, such as when composing a new tweet on Twitter. (See also the
530 [`blur_timeout`] pref.)
531 - Changed: The `<c-enter>` Hints mode command no longer _replaces_ all hint
532 markers on screen (with new ones for all elements on screen). Instead, it
533 _toggles_ your current hint markers with ones for all _other_ elements on
534 screen.
535 - Changed: There was a breaking change to the [`vimfx.setHintMatcher`] function
536 of the `frame.js` config file API. It no longer receives and returns an object
537 (of the shape `{type, semantic}`), but instead simply receives and returns the
538 `type` of the element.
539 - Improved: Some internal robustness refactoring.
540 - Updated locales: de, id, nl and zh-CN. Thanks to @just-barcodes, Yoppy
541 Halilintar (@comepradz), @HJTP, @av2000ii and @mozillazg.

545
546 ### 0.14.3 (2016-05-08)
547
548 - Fixed: Version 0.14.2 attempted to fix smooth scrolling speed in newer Firefox
549 versions. However, there was a tiny typo that caused the fix not to work. That
550 typo has been corrected.
551
552 ### 0.14.2 (2016-05-08)
553
554 - Fixed: Smooth scrolling speed is now correct again in newer Firefox versions.
555 - Fixed: The `yv` Caret mode command now only copies text that you can see on
556 screen (not any hidden text that might be on the page), making it truly work
557 like `zv` followed by `y`, as intended. This problem was very noticeable on
558 Slack. This also improves copying of 'contenteditable' elements using `yf`.
559 - Fixed: `<escape>` and arrow key handling as well as hint markers in the
560 devtools now work correctly again in newer Firefox versions.
561 - Fixed: VimFx no longer makes it impossible to open the Developer Toolbar.
562 - Improved: VimFx now ignores `<numlock>` and `<capslock>`. If your keyboard
563 sends `<numlock>` before some symbols, such as `<numlock>$` instead of just
564 `$`, shortcuts like `gx$` now work out of the box. This also means that you
565 can use `<capslock>` instead of `<shift>` when typing the `J` in `gJ`, for
566 example.
567 - Improved: Some minor cosmetic tweaks in VimFx’s Keyboard Shortcuts help
568 dialog.
569
570 ### 0.14.1 (2016-04-30)
571
572 - Fixed: The Find commands (such as `/`, `n` and `N`) no longer crash on some
573 sites (regression since 0.14.0).
574
575 ### 0.14.0 (2016-04-29)
576
577 - Added: [Caret mode], which lets you copy text from web pages using the
578 keyboard.
579 - Improved: The Find commands (such as `/`, `n` and `N`) now search from the top
580 of the viewport, instead of from the top of the document, which is more
581 Vim-like and less disorienting. To read more about it (or to return to the
582 Firefox default behavior) please see the [`find_from_top_of_viewport`] pref.
583 - Improved: Compatibility with the [BackTrack Tab History] add-on.
584 - Added: The `<c-enter>` Hints mode command, which creates hint markers for
585 _all_ elements.
586 - Fixed: `__dirname` inside config files now works on Windows. Thanks to
587 Zhong Jianxin (@azuwis)!
588 - Fixed: Unnecessary full-page hint markers on some sites, such as Hackernews,
589 no longer appear.

593 [BackTrack Tab History]: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/backtrack-tab-history/
594
595 ### 0.13.2 (2016-04-08)
596
597 - Improved: The “last position mark” `` ` `` now works more reliably.
598 - Improved: More video players are now recognized. Many video players lets you
599 press `<space>` while focused to toggle play/pause. VimFx tries to detect if
600 the currently focused element is a video player. If so, `<space>` is passed to
601 the video player instead of scrolling the page. (For those interested, see
602 also the [`adjustable_element_keys`] pref.)
603
604 [`adjustable_element_keys`]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/blob/645e35d7d82019b0551534c43926bc126e7105bd/documentation/options.md#adjustable_element_keys
605
606 ### 0.13.1 (2016-04-01)
607
608 - Fixed: Blacklisting of some XUL pages.
609 - Fixed: The current mode is no longer lost when a page loads. For example, if
610 you press `zF` while a page is loading, the markers no longer disappear.
611 - Fixed: Elements that you have focused using an `f` command no longer get stuck
612 appearing as if you’d put the mouse pointer.
613 - Updated locale: zh-CN. Thanks to @mozillazg!
614
615 ### 0.13.0 (2016-03-19)
616
617 - Added: The `T` command, which opens a new tab after the current.
618 - Changed: The `gl` command now deals with _visited_ tabs only.
619 - Added: The [`gL`] command, which deals with <em>un</em>visited tabs only, in
620 oldest-first order. Use this to step through your unvisited background tabs in
621 the order you opened them (for example using the `F` command).
622 - Improved: The `gi` command no longer tries to focus the last focused text
623 input if it has been removed from the page. If so, it finds a new one instead.
624 - Fixed: You can now type in sidebar text inputs (such as in the history
625 sidebar) without having to switch to Ignore mode.
626 - Changed: If you enter Ignore mode you will now stay in Ignore mode in that tab
627 until you explicitly exit it (by pressing `<s-escape>`), even if you reload
628 the page or follow a link. If Ignore mode was entered automatically because of
629 the [blacklist][blacklist-2], though, you will be automatically returned to
630 Normal mode if
631 the URL changes to a non-blacklisted page.
632 - Added: VimFx can now automatically enter and exit Ignore mode based on the
633 currently focused element. Currently, the [wasavi] extension as well as
634 [CodeMirror] in Vim mode are detected. Both of those provide Vim-style
635 editors. This allows sending `<escape>` to those editors in order to exit
636 their Insert mode, without blurring the editor.
637 - Improved: CodeMirror editors now get better hints, keeping the cursor where
638 you left it.
639 - Improved: The [blacklist][blacklist-2] is now applied faster on some pages.
640 - Improved: Many audio and video elements are now recognized as “adjustable”,
641 allowing you to press for example `<space>` on them to toggle play/pause,
642 without scrolling the page.
643 - Improved: Scrolling by pages, such as using the `<space>` command, now takes
644 fixed heaears and footers into account, just like Firefox does.
645 - Fixed: Access keys now work correctly in context menus in the devtools and
646 `about:config`.
647 - Improved: The arrow keys now Just Work in the devtools, even if you have bound
648 them to VimFx commands.
649 - Changed: The public API has been removed, and turned into the Config file API.
650 If you were already using a config file, it will no longer work. You need to
651 set up a new one, but you should be able to simply copy and paste the contents
652 of the old one into the new one. Read the [config file] documentation for more
653 information.
654 - Changed: There are a few minor breaking changes to the API, though I doubt it
655 will affect anyone.
656 - If you use [`vimfx.on`], you probably need to adjust the arguments of the
657 your callbacks. They are now _always_ passed an object of data, instead of
658 sometimes passing the data directly.
659 - `match.focus` of [match object]s has been removed, and replaced by
660 `vim.focusType` of [vim object]s.
661 - Fixed: The toolbar button’s icon is now correctly sized when setting
662 `layout.css.devPixelsPerPx` to `2`. Thanks to Robert Ma (@Hexcles) and Dale
663 Whinham (@dwhinham)!
664 - Fixed: Find commands now work when the find bar was opened before the page had
665 finished loading.
666 - Improved: Lots of internal improvements. This should make VimFx faster, more
667 reliable and more responsive.
668 - All keyboard event handling (except `<late>` shortcuts) are now handled in
669 the UI process, instead of mostly in each tab’s web page content process.
670 This should make VimFx’s shortcuts more reliable and responsive.
671 - Removed all synchronous message passing (execpt for `<late>` keypresses).
672 Mozilla recommends using them only where absolutely necessary. Turns out
673 VimFx doesn’t need them anymore!
674 - The `f` commands are now more reliable. Before, they could crash on rare
675 occasions (on certain web pages), but that is less likely now.
676 - Less `MutationObserver`s are now used. This should improve performance.
677 - Less uncaught errors (especially on shutdown).
678 - Lots of minor improvements.
679 - Updated locale: ja. Thanks to Kaoru Esashika (@pluser)!

689
690 ### 0.12.0 (2016-02-03)
691
692 - Improved: More clickable elements are now recognized. Most notably, elements
693 with click event listeners added by JavaScript now get hints.
694 - Improved: Autofocus prevention after using the `[` and `]` commands.
695 - Added: In VimFx’s Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog (which can be opened by
696 pressing `?`) you can now click on any command to open VimFx’s settings page
697 in the Add-ons Manager and automatically select the text input for that
698 command, letting you edit its shortcuts. Tip: Use the `zF` command to click
699 without using the mouse.
700 - Changed: Autofocus is no longer prevented in Firefox internal pages, such as
701 `about:preferences`, `about:addons` and `about:config` (as well as other XUL
702 pages).
703 - Fixed: VimFx and the Beyond Australis extension do not conflict with each
704 other anymore.
705 - Fixed: The `gH` command no longer nags you about “No back/forward history”
706 even though there is.
707 - Added: The `gl` command now takes a [count][gl-count].
708 - Improved: Optimized CPU usage in Hints mode. (See also the [`hints_sleep`]
709 pref.)
710 - Improved: The `H` and `L` commands should now be more reliable in Firefox 43
711 and later.
712 - Changed: There was a tiny breaking change to the Public API, though I doubt it
713 will affect anyone. (See [commit 0ca807605e] if you’re especially interested.)
714 - Improved: _Several_ minor things, and some really nice internal refactoring.
715 - Updated locale: de. Thanks to @just-barcodes!
716
717 [`hints_sleep`]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/blob/92b483c4a4f6da0b2c998267e0f01d3d999f93b6/documentation/options.md#hints_sleep

720
721 ### 0.11.0 (2016-01-15)
722
723 - Fixed: The `` ` `` command is no longer broken.
724 - Fixed: Memory leak.
725 - Added: The `gl` command, which takes you to the most recent tab.
726 - Improved: The Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog is now scrollable using VimFx’s
727 scrolling commands. To allow for this, the search field is no longer
728 autofocused. Instead, press `/` to open it.
729 - Improved: Using the `f` commands, such as `f` and `zf`, now works like
730 actually moving your mouse onto the link, making hover menus and such-like
731 appear.
732 - Improved: VimFx should now work better with Google Drive Documents, Etherpad
733 and a few other fancy text editors.
734 - Improved: The `]` command now works on google.com.
735 - Improved: Checkboxes and menu items on gmail.com are now given hints by the
736 `f` command.
737 - Improved: The `gi` command now also recognizes 'contenteditable' elements.
738 - Improved: Hint markers now move along together with their elements.
739 - Fixed: Hint markers should now be correctly positioned when zooming.
740 - Fixed: The toolbar button icon should now look correctly on Retina screens.
741 - Added: You may now disable counts by using toggling the [`counts_enabled`]
742 pref.
743 - Updated locale: de. Thanks to @just-barcodes!
744 - Improved: Several minor things.
745
746 [`counts_enabled`]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/blob/8dae7aec9008595da31b939d5ae2d239849cf6dc/documentation/options.md#counts_enabled
747
748 ### 0.10.0 (2015-12-09)
749
750 - Added: The `zF` command, which lets you click browser elements.
751 - Improved: The scrolling commands can now scroll browser elements (in other
752 words, not only web page content), by first selecting the scollable element
753 using `zF`.
754 - Added: The `gr` command, which toggles [Reader View].
755 - Added: The `gX` command, which opens the Recently Closed Tabs menu at the
756 middle of the screen.
757 - Added: The keys you’ve typed so far of a command, as well the count, are now
758 shown in a [notification]. (You may disable this using the
759 [`notify_entered_keys`] pref.)
760 - Improved: When commands don’t do anything, they show a [notification] instead,
761 letting you know that you actually pressed the right keys. For example, if you
762 press `f` but there are no markable elements visible, a notification is shown
763 telling you so, instead of silently doing nothing.
764 - Improved: `<space>` now scrolls _about a line less_ than a full page, just
765 like Firefox does by default. `d` scroll about _half_ a line less (by
766 default), so that pressing `d` twice works like pressing `<space>` once. (See
767 the [`scroll.full_page_adjustment` and `scroll.half_page_adjustment`] prefs
768 for more information.)
769 - Improved: `gi` now only selects all text in its text input if you haven’t
770 focused a text input yet (allowing you to easily replace pre-filled text),
771 instead of _always_ doing so. Otherwise, it now puts the cursor where you left
772 off typing the last time.
773 - Fixed: The `f` commands now put the cursor where you left off typing the last
774 time when focusing a text input. Previously, they accidentally selected all
775 text in the text input (use `zf` for that behavior).
776 - Fixed: Yet a scrolling fix. VimFx’s scrolling commands should now “just work”
777 on even more sites.
778 - Fixed: AltGr should now work out of the box on Windows. (See the
779 [`ignore_ctrl_alt`] pref for more information.)
780 - Removed: The el-GR, hu and pl locales were sadly too out of date to be useful,
781 and nobody has shown interest in updating them, so they were removed.
782 - Updated locales: id, de and zh-CN. Thanks to Yoppy Halilintar, @just-barcodes
783 and @mozillazg!
784 - Fixed: Several tiny bugs.

791
792 ### 0.9.0 (2015-12-02)
793
794 - Fixed: Links with the `onclick` attribute can now be opened in new tabs again.
795 (Regression since 0.8.0.)
796 - Fixed: The text size in VimFx’s Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog is now
797 correctly resized.
798 - Added: The `gH` command. It opens the back/forward button context menu in the
799 middle of the window, allowing you to choose a history entry with the arrow
800 keys and `<enter>`.
801
802 ### 0.8.0 (2015-12-01)
803
804 - Fixed: VimFx now works properly in tabs moved to other windows.
805 - Fixed: An unreliable check for multi-process mode has been eliminated, fixing
806 various problems for some users.
807 - Fixed: VimFx’s toolbar button now changes color correctly when switching
808 between blacklisted and non-blacklisted tabs.
809 - Fixed: Dead keys now work out of the box on Windows.
810 - Improved: Links with the `onclick` attribute (abused as buttons) can no longer
811 get the same hint as another link.
812 - Added: The Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog (shown by pressing `?`) is now
813 searchable.
814 - Added: The `g/` command. It’s like `/` but searches links only.
815
816 - Added: [Marks].
817
818 - Use `ma` to mark the current scroll position and `` `a `` to return to it.
819 (You may substitute `a` with any key press.)
820 - Use ``` `` ``` to return to the position before the last `gg`, `G`, `0`,
821 `$`, `/`, `n`, `N` or `` ` ``. (You can change this mark using the
822 [`last_scroll_position_mark`] pref.)
823
824 - Added: Window commands.
825
826 - `w`: Open new window.
827 - `W`: Open new private window.
828 - `gw`: Move tab to new window.

833
834 ### 0.7.3 (2015-11-22)
835
836 - Fixed: Scrolling now works correctly in pages in quirks mode (lacking a
837 doctype), such as Hackernews.
838 - Improved: The largest scrollable element is now detected better in frames.
839 - Fixed: Hints mode now exits correctly when focusing a text input using `af`,
840 or `f` with a count.
841
842 ### 0.7.2 (2015-11-21)
843
844 - Fixed: The blinking text caret now always appears correctly when focusing text
845 inputs.
846
847 ### 0.7.1 (2015-11-21)
848
849 - Fixed: The scrolling commands should now “just work” when using non-default
850 zoom or DPI settings, most notably on Google Groups.
851
852 ### 0.7.0 (2015-11-19)
853
854 - Changed: Instead of using system notifications, which turned out to be a bit
855 too intrusive, [notifications] are now similar to the “URL popup” (shown when
856 hovering or focusing links) but are placed on the opposite side,.
857 - Changed: The “Focus next element” and “Focus previous element” commands have
858 been removed. The reason they existed was to let `<tab>` and `<s-tab>` only
859 cycle between text inputs (as opposed to _all_ focusable elements) after
860 you’ve pressed `gi`. Now, `<tab>` and `<s-tab>` are handled specially instead,
861 and _only_ after pressing `gi`. The reason for this change is that the now
862 removed commands were too intrusive, breaking user habits. One of VimFx’s main
863 goal is _not_ to do that. (You can turn the special handling of `<tab>` and
864 `<s-tab>` off using the the new [`focus_previous_key` and `focus_next_key`]
865 prefs.)
866 - Fixed: The scrolling commands should now “just work” in a lot more situations,
867 most notably on Gmail and Google Groups. More scrollable elements are also
868 recognized by the `f` and `zf` commands.
869 - Improved: The right border of hint markers for scrollable elements is now
870 styled to remind of a scroll bar, making them easier to recognize among hints
871 for links.
872 - Improved/Changed: `J` and `gJ` now allow a count on the first tab.
873 Consequently, `K` and `gK` now allow a count on the _last_ tab.
874 - Changed: `gJ` and `gK` can no longer be used to pin or unpin tabs. They now
875 only wrap around tabs of the same pinned state. Use `gp` to toggle between
876 pinned and non-pinned.
877 - Fixed: Many elements that got a hint before VimFx 0.6.0 now do again.
878 - Improved: Comment fields on Facebook can now be focused using `f` and blurred
879 using `<escape>`.
880 - Improved: VimFx’s toolbar button is no greyed out when you focus a text input.
881 This is to show that your key presses will be passed into the text input
882 rather than activating VimFx commands.
883 - Added: [`g0`, `g^` and `g$` now accept counts][tab-index-counts], allowing you
884 to go to tab number _count._
885 - Improved: `gi` now finds text inputs inside frames.
886 - Fixed: “gi mode” is now exited properly when blurring a text input.
887 - Fixed: `<select>` elements are no longer considered to be text inputs when
888 using `<tab>` and `<s-tab>` in “gi mode.”
889 - Fixed: Using `<force>` or `<late>` in a shortcut no longer applies to _every_
890 shortcut for the command, but only that shortcut.
891 - Fixed: The order of the Previous/Next page patterns is now respected. This
892 caused the wrong link to be picked by the `[` and `]` commands on some pages.

897
898 ### 0.6.2 (2015-11-11)
899
900 - Improved: If the entire page isn’t scrollable, the largest scrollable element
901 is scrolled instead.
902 - Fixed: VimFx’s keyboard shortcuts now works on slowly loading pages.
903 - Fixed: Numbers may now be used as shortcut keys (overriding counts).
904 - Fixed: The toolbar button’s icon is now correctly sized in high DPI.
905 - Fixed: Hint markers are now correctly positioned when zooming using the “Zoom
906 text only” option.
907 - Fixed: The `P` command now works with the InstantFox add-on.
908
909 ### 0.6.1 (2015-11-10)
910
911 - Fixed: If you customized the “esc” command before VimFx 0.6.0 it should now
912 work as expected.
913 - Fixed: `<tab>` now works as expected in the location bar and in the dev tools.
914 - Fixed: Light-weight themes can no longer make VimFx’s Keyboard Shortcuts help
915 dialog and hint markers unreadable.
916 - Added: The [notifications\_enabled] option.
917
918 [notifications\_enabled]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/blob/56c4b7c514ea8b58d2cdcecf3d2654648c48ca31/documentation/options.md#notifications_enabled
919
920 ### 0.6.0 (2015-11-09)
921
922 ##### Most important (breaking) changes
923
924 - VimFx now works properly with **any keyboard layout.** Users of **multiple
925 layouts** should enable the **[ignore keyboard layout] option.** #249 #259
926
927 - Features related to disabling VimFx, and to the [toolbar button]:
928
929 - **Insert Mode** has been renamed to **_Ignore_ mode.**
930 - **[Blacklisted][blacklist] sites** now **enter Ignore mode automatically,**
931 instead of being specially handled.
932 - The feature to click the toolbar button (or press `<a-V>`) to **disable
933 VimFx** has been **removed.** Use **Ignore mode** (`i`) and the
934 **[blacklist] instead.**
935 - The **toolbar button** is now **red in Ignore mode** (which also means that
936 it is red on blacklisted sites) and green otherwise (never grey anymore).
937 - The toolbar button no longer offers to (un-)blacklist the current domain.
938 (Head into VimFx’s settings page in the Add-ons Manager and add
939 `*currentdomain.com*` to the [blacklist] option yourself instead.)
940
941 (See [commit 3552282] for more information.)
942
943 - **Some default shortcuts have changed,** mostly because they conflicted with
944 standard Firefox shortcuts: #308
945
946 - `<c-J>` → `gJ`
947
948 - `<c-K>` → `gK`
949
950 - `g^` and `gH` → `g0`
951
952 `g^` now selects the first _non pinned_ tab instead, while `g0`
953 selects the first tab regardless of whether it is pinned or not. #317
954
955 - `<c-e>` (alias for `j`) and `<c-y>` (alias for `k`) have been removed.
956
957 - `<c-f>` → `<space>` and `<c-b>` → `<s-space>`
958
959 - `vf` → `zf`
960
961 This frees up `v` for future shortcuts (instead making `z` a
962 “namespace” key, just like in Vim).
963
964 - To **exit Ignore mode:** `<escape>` → `<s-escape>`. This is because Ignore
965 mode has replaced the disable feature, as well as the special blacklist
966 state (see above). Sites are likely to use `<escape>` but not `<s-escape>`.
967 (In a way, this new role of Ignore mode also means that the old (many times
968 broken) shortcut to disable VimFx (`<a-V>`) has been replaced by `i`.) #64
969 \#375 #432
970
971 - VimFx’s Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog is now help only, and more accessible.
972 To **customize keyboard shortcuts,** go to VimFx’s settings page **in the
973 Add-ons Manager,** just like you would to customize other settings. Also,
974 **commas** between every key are **no longer needed:** Type `gJ` instead of
975 `g,J`.
976
977 - For performance reasons, **Hint markers** are now placed vertically **centered
978 instead of at the top** of the element. Don’t be surprised if you see the same
979 hint repeated several times**—links that go to the same place now get the same
980 hint.** The “Smart hints” option has been removed—hints are _always_ smart
981 now, and a lot smarter than before. Finally, hints now also work in the new
982 tab page, the Add-ons Manager and the preferences page. If you want to, you
983 can read more about [the `f` commands]. \#51 #60 #176 #320 #325 #468 #471 #475
984
985 - The **`F`** command now _always_ opens tabs in new **background** tabs, while
986 **`gf`** has been added to open tabs in new **foreground** tabs. #227 #464
987
988 - **Autofocus prevention** is now **off by default.** One of VimFx’s core
989 philosophies is to be nice to your browser habits. Some find autofocus
990 prevention too big a change. Turn it on again if you like it! By the way,
991 autofocus prevention now works much more reliably and should not cause issues
992 with other extensions. #497 #541
993
994 - The **“Scroll step”** option has been **removed**. The scrolling commands that
995 used it now **work like the arrow keys instead,** and are customized just like
996 them. See [scrolling prefs] for more information.
997
998 - Speaking of scrolling, **which elements scrolls** when you use VimFx’s
999 scrolling commands **has changed.** See [scrolling commands] for more
1000 information.
1001
1002 ##### New features
1003
1004 - New commands:
1005
1006 - `gp` pins or unpins the current tab. (Also see `g^` and `g0` mentioned
1007 above.) #121
1008 - `yt` duplicates the current tab. #121
1009 - `0` and `^` scroll to the far left, and `$` scrolls to the far right.
1010 - [`gi`] has finally been implemented. #47
1011 - [Ignore mode `<s-f1>`] let you run a Normal mode command without exiting
1012 Ignore mode.
1013
1014 - In Hints mode you can now hold ctrl and alt to change behavior of the matched
1015 marker. Hold shift to temporarily make the hints see-through. See [the `f`
1016 commands] for more information. #220 #421 #484
1017
1018 - Some commands now accept [counts]. #374
1019
1020 - It is now possible to create shortcuts that work inside text inputs. See the
1021 [`<force>`] key for more information. #258
1022
1023 - It is now possible to create shortcuts that the page can override. See the
1024 [`<late>`] key for more information.
1025
1026 - A number of [advanced options] have been added. Rather than listing everything
1027 regarding them here, follow that link if you’re interested. #452 #489
1028
1029 - You may now, if you want to, configure VimFx through a [config file], using
1030 the new [public API]. Customizing VimFx through a config file also gives extra
1031 abilities, such as [site-specific options][option-overrides] and [disabling
1032 certain commands on certain sites][key-overrides]. It also allows to add
1033 [custom commands] \(and other extensions to extend VimFx). #158 #235 #255 #261
1034 \#300 #408 #445 #490 #515
1035
1036 - It is now easier to customize VimFx through custom [styling]. An example is
1037 changing the way hint markers look. #220 #233 #424 #432 #465
1038
1039 - VimFx now has [documentation] and a [wiki].
1040
1041 - A few new locales were added:
1042
1043 - fr. Thanks to Mickaël RAYBAUD-ROIG (@m-r-r)!
1044 - pt-BR. Thanks to Átila Camurça Alves (@atilacamurca)!
1045 - sv-SE. Thanks to Andreas Lindhé (@lindhe)!
1046
1047 ##### Improvements
1048
1049 - VimFx is now multi-process/Electrolysis/e10s compatible! This means that you
1050 can run VimFx on a version of Firefox with multi-process enabled without
1051 issues, and that we’re future proof for the day when Firefox becomes
1052 multi-process by default. Best of all, it also made VimFx more reliable in
1053 non-multi-process (“regular”) Firefox. #378
1054
1055 - The `[` and `]` commands are now smarter, recognizing more links to the
1056 previous/next page correctly. You may read more about [previous/next page
1057 patterns]. #396
1058
1059 - The `n` and `N` commands now notify you when they wrap around the page, or the
1060 phrase you searched for could not be found. #398
1061
1062 - _All_ shortcuts in _all modes_ can now be customized. For example, this allows
1063 you to disable VimFx’s Vim-style `<enter>` behavior in the find bar. #222 #390
1064 \#421
1065
1066 - The `p` and `P` commands are now smarter regarding whether to treat the
1067 clipboard contents as a URL or a search, by working exactly like pasting in
1068 the location bar. They also now read the selection clipboard, if available.
1069 \#353 #382
1070
1071 - VimFx’s toolbar button is now properly implemented. #303 #349 #383
1072
1073 - Most locales were updated. Thanks to our awesome [translators]!
1074
1075 ##### Minor bug fixes
1076
1077 - VimFx now works correctly in tabs dragged to other windows. #57
1078 - The `p` command is no longer broken. #494
1079 - Non-ASCII shortcut keys now work properly. #433
1080 - The Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog can no longer be covered by page elements.
1081 \#477
1082 - Hint markers can no longer be covered by page elements.
1083 - VimFx no longer causes scripts on icloud.com to get stuck in an infinite loop.

1109
1110 ### 0.5.17 (2015-01-23)
1111
1112 - Fixed: The hints generation no longer crashes on some pages (regression since
1113 version 0.5.15).
1114
1115 ### 0.5.16 (2015-01-22)
1116
1117 - Fixed: The toolbar button no longer throws errors. (This fix should have been
1118 in 0.5.15 but was forgotten. Luckily an AMO reviewer found it.)
1119
1120 ### 0.5.15 (2015-01-21)
1121
1122 - Improved: This version is now forwards-compatible with the upcoming version
1123 0.6.0. Downgrading from 0.6.0 to 0.5.14 or older might cause VimFx to crash,
1124 but downgrading from 0.6.0 to 0.5.15 is safe.
1125 - Fixed: Non-hintchars key presses in hints mode are now suppressed. They used
1126 to be passed along to the browser, which could confusingly activate site
1127 commands.
1128 - Fixed: The 'f' command now always opens links in the same tab. Links used to
1129 be able to force a new tab or window.
1130 - Fixed: Pressing 'Esc' in the location bar now restores the URL, as is the
1131 default behaviour of Firefox. You may now also close Firefox dialogs using
1132 'Esc'.
1133 - Improved: Updated the de locale. Thanks to Alexander Haeussler!
1134 - Improved: Updated the pl locale. Thanks to morethanoneanimal!
1135
1136 ### 0.5.14 (2014-08-16)
1137
1138 - Fixed: Locales should now work properly.
1139 - Improved: Updated the zh-CN locale (@mozillazg).
1140 - Improved: Updated the de locale (@Kambfhase).
1141 - Added: Japanese locale (@pluser).
1142 - Fixed: If you switched to another tab or window while an `<input>` element
1143 was focused and then switched back, the `<input>` element got blurred, while
1144 it should have stayed focused. This caused the auto-type feature of KeePassX
1145 to break.
1146
1147 ### 0.5.13 (2014-08-02)
1148
1149 - Fixed: The vote button on StackExchange sites are now markable again.
1150 - Improved: Detection of previous/next links. Should work better on gmail now.
1151 - Fixed: It is now possible to use Enter/Return in keyboard shortcuts.
1152 - Improved: The n/N commands (etc.) now work even if you didn’t open the finbar
1153 using the VimFx command (such as the default key binding ctrl+f, or by
1154 clicking a menu item).
1155 - Improved: It is now possible to blur text inputs without sending Esc to the
1156 page, which could cause dialogs etc. to annoyingly close.
1157 - Improved: Updated the el-GR locale (@sirodoht).
1158 - Fixed: Autofocus prevention sometimes made text inputs impossible to focus
1159 until you reloaded the page.
1160 - Improved: Autofocus prevention now works on more sites than before.
1161 - Improved: Autofocus prevention now prevents _all_ automatic focusing (not
1162 just when the page loads). This makes devdocs.io much easier to use.
1163 - Added: When viewing images directly and the image has been resized to fit the
1164 screen the image is now markable, allowing you to toggle zoom on it using the
1165 keyboard.
1166 - Fixed: It is no longer possible to add conflicting shortcuts (such as adding
1167 'a' when 'af' and 'as' are already present).
1168
1169 ### 0.5.12 (2014-06-01)
1170
1171 - Fixed: Autofocus prevention got stuck sometimes, making it impossible to
1172 focus inputs.
1173
1174 ### 0.5.11 (2014-06-01)
1175
1176 - Fixed: The focus search bar command was broken.
1177 - Fixed: Autofocus prevention was broken.
1178 - Fixed: The top bar on YouTube could not be accessed by VimFx.
1179 - Fixed: You can no longer add blank hotkeys.
1180 - Improved: Tab Groups are supported.
1181 - Improved: Matching of previous/next links should be more reliable.
1182 - Improved: A few minor things.
1183
1184 ### 0.5.10 (2014-05-07)
1185
1186 - Fixed yet another bug related to the default preferences
1187
1188 ### 0.5.9 (2014-05-04)
1189
1190 - Fixed a bug with default preferences not being set
1191 - Fixed gg and G to be faster
1192
